I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 315 Heroes and Villains

Mr. Key's plan...the stars have returned...the thing hatched at the center of the planet...

These concepts quickly flashed through Lin Zhong's mind.

"By the way, how is your nun friend doing? Is she still out of touch?" Irene suddenly said meaningfully.

Lin Zhong was silent for a while, and finally just responded with a "hmm".

During the time they were in Area 33, gray fog also erupted in the Seventh Abyss, and then the abyss began to gradually shrink.At that time, the Seventh Abyss moved to the frigid mountainous area, and no sanctuary area was involved.

According to common sense, this means that the nuns and Priest Galahad have completed their evolutionary goals in the Seventh Abyss.

However, when Lin finally heard the news and tried to contact the nun again, the person on the line was still the liaison officer of Jishi Ark. The other party said that the nun still had not returned.

Lin Zhong once suspected that the returning nun was avoiding him for some reason, so he revealed to his contact person the information he had investigated about "Paradise Island" in Area 33, and asked the other person to relay it to Sister Yi Si if she had the opportunity. , he then informed Sister Yisi of the information in person.

He expected that if Sister Yi Si heard about this, she would take the initiative to contact him, or at least ask the liaison officer to ask him. However, after the liaison officer only replied "understood", he never heard from Enji again. Any contact will be made.

"This time, the activities in the abyss have become more concentrated than ever before. At this time, my father and they both looked very busy. What a coincidence, don't you think?" Irene asked.

Lin finally didn't reply.

A few months passed after the events in the Third Abyss ended, and then there was activity in the Seventh Abyss, followed closely by the Eighth Abyss.

Not long ago, Mr. Key and Dr. Vader reached a cooperation, and Dr. Vader was "just" preparing to explore the Eighth Abyss.

Mr. Key himself is concentrating on a certain project on Paradise Island. Sister Isi and Priest Galahad, who seem to have completed the ceremony, have mysteriously lost contact. The ceremony of "returning the stars" seems to be drawing to a close.

In the process of evolving the apostle, the catastrophic scenes I saw seemed very similar to the records of the Abyss people found in the blood lake: the thing hatched in the center of the planet tore the planet apart, and all this seemed to happen in Abyss. The "saint" in human records combines the power of the eight ancient gods into one body.

Compared with that cataclysm that could destroy the entire planet, today's eight abyss and the black sun and monitor red moon that appear from time to time can only be regarded as child's play.

If the ceremony of returning stars refers to this, Sister Yisi’s plan of letting human beings usurp the throne of the ancient gods and then control all the abyss to stop their activities is nonsense, because There will be more terrible disasters coming to the world.

The meaning of Eileen's words is obvious: Sister Yisi and Mr. Key want to do the same thing to some extent.

Lin Zhong didn't know what Sister Yi Si wanted to achieve, but based on the clues he had obtained so far and his experience of contact with the nuns and the Enji Society, he already had a rough guess - at least one guess. direction.

As for Mr. Key, the former number one hunter Xu Mori, Lin finally found that he didn't know much about this character, except for some information about Xu Mori and Mr. Key's recent activities.

Vito's last words, and Fran's collection of Vito's brain, only obtained a small part of the information about Xu Mori.

According to Vito, Xu Mori's original name was Xu Mo. After the Catastrophic Era, he changed his name to a name homophonic to "Doomsday". Just like Lin Zhong's generation of people born after the Catastrophe, they seemed to be claiming that they belonged to this era. .

He does belong to this era. Xu Mori's age seems to be about the same as Vito's. Xu Mori was also very young when Vito and Xu Mori met, but Vito said that he "has an unusual reliability and maturity." He was very adaptable to the post-catastrophic world and was very enthusiastic about exploration. With the dual blessing of luck and enthusiasm, he became the leader among the first batch of abyssal hunters and made many achievements. After the gray mist broke out, he was completely dubbed a hero.

Before the reunion, Vito had always regarded him as a hero. It was precisely because of Xu Mori's influence that he came up with the idea of ​​transforming Area 33 as a hero, until Vito met him again as Mr. Key. When Xu Mori appeared, he had a new understanding of this person.

"Looking back now, he was a very abnormal person before." The AI ​​left behind by Vito said at the time.

Xu Mori once commented that "Vito, like himself, is not a hero in the true sense. The element of selfish desire is far greater than the spirit of dedication." He also commented to Vito on a sentence that left a deep impression on him: "Rebuilding civilization is not a big deal. Meaning, the entire human civilization history of thousands of years before the disaster is actually insignificant compared to the disaster itself that has occurred in the past ten years."

When they met again, he directly told Vito: "The end is inevitable. Your heroic activities are as empty as your life. Only by obeying your own desires and leaving as many happy memories as possible before you die can you It’s the most real.”

From this information alone, it sounds like this guy is a nihilist.

"Your father, Xu Mori, what exactly does he want to do?" Lin Zhi simply asked Irene.

"My father? Didn't I say that? He wants to become a god with sole power, just like the saint of the Abyss. I don't know what he wants to do after that. At least it won't be to rebuild civilization, cleanse the world and rule it. Or it could be total destruction, I don't care, because I will die in the first steps before he can accomplish this goal." Irene replied.

Lin had heard this answer more than once.

"Is it just that simple? I heard that he once saved the Second Sanctuary." Lin Zhong said.

In Eileen's answer, Mr. Key is a villain with "classic villain logic", just like Sister Yisi originally described.But after learning that Mr. Key was Xu Mo who had saved the Second Sanctuary, Lin finally seemed to have some contradictions in his understanding of him.

"Don't think about him too complicated. He is actually very simple. Many times, he doesn't even bother to hide his thoughts in front of me. My father is a person who does things as he pleases. He once said something close to his motto." Ai Lin paused, then continued, "It doesn't really matter what choice you make in the end. What matters is seizing the power of choice."
